PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDTRE.

Reform Of procedure in the Commons il
safe question for the Tory Government. The
present rules were adopted at special autumn
session held under Mr. Gladstones direction
for the purpoc Of giving to Parliament com
mand over It's own time. Those rules have
not been as effective as the Liberal leaders
predicted Obstruction is almost easy under
the amended az it was under the old rules 1,
and debates are as inteminable as ever. When
the Tory leader Ct the Commons demands fur
Their notifications Of procedure, the Opposition
on the English side cannot deny that amend
ments are required in order to facilitate the
transaction Of business. The Irish members
may prolong the debate over the new rules
as they did when Mr.. Gladstone was striving to
reduce procedure to more satisfactory state ::
hut their Liberal allies cannot consistently unite
with them. The Government will undoubtedly
carry its proposed reform. Coercion bin can
then bc introduced and under pressure of more
stringent rules be rapidly advanced to its
final stages.
1t is a singular fact that of all legislative
assemblies tho House Of Commons is the most
wasteful in point of time and the most helpless
in the transaction of public business. Tx
pedicnts which have been adopted in nearly
every other Parliament are either rejected out
right at Westminster or introduced under linn
itatons that impair their efficiency. The prevl-
Gus question rule, by which in other capitals
debate is cut off and critical division forced
has only been sanctioned in London within a
few years and then only under condition rem
dering it imperative. The Speaker is allowed
to propose at his discretion that the question
shall be put but the division cannot lie taken
without the consent of 200 members, or with
the opposition Of 40 members when more than
100 favor it. These numerical limitations par
alyze the operation of the rule. The previous
question is seldom. if ever, called for in the
Commons. Mr.. Smith. in his proposed amend
ments, merely transfers the power of demand
ing the closure a. it is termed in England, from
the Speaker TO any member Of the House. The
numerical restrictions remain unaltered The

DIR. KGLYNN'S SETTLEMENT

The long statement prepared 10y DR.. McGKnn
and published in full in yesterdays TRIBUNE
calls for no essential modification Of the view
Of his position which was based upon the gem
cral facts known before he presented his side
Of the case 1t Is indeed in large part an &C.
Acknowledgement of the Justice of the discipline
TO which he has been subjected, for it is a frank
admission Of tho cOntumacious character of his
own conduct toward his ecclesiastical supcriors.
lie specifically declares that he repeatedly re-
fused to obey even pcrcmptory orders from his
diocesan; that he first ignored and then rcpudi
aicd orders from the Propaganda that he de-
family announced his intention to continue
teaching doctrines which the Church whose
orders he has taken distinctly holds to DC pcr-
nicious and false and against public morals !:
doctrines, moreover, which are equally repro
batcd by all who believe in sane ethics through
out the civilized world. DIR. McGlynn does not
in his statement throw any new light upon the
situation. All he says confirms the prvious
conviction that his own apparently deliberate
course left his Church no alternative in dealing
with him. A priest who arrogates TO himself
the authority TO decide what doctrines arc t,,,e
what is the decision Of the Pope upon matters of
doctrine what manner Of obedience he owes
10 his ecclesiastical supcriOrs, and in brief as-
sumcs the right TO bc law TO himself in nil
these relations clearly has proceeded far bc
You'd mere rcmOnstrancc.
The most remarkable fact about the case l.
DR.. McGlynn's apparent failure 10 perceive the
fatal weakness Of his own position. Next TO
this in popularity is his inability TO recognize
the utter incOmpatbilty Of the land doctrine
as he presents 1T with any system Of religion
or philosophy founded upon the PRINCIPLES of
equity as agreed upon by mankind since the
dawn Of intellectual development If the
Doctor had halted at the confession Of belief
that private property in land is opposed TO nat
ural Justice there would certainly have been
abundant room for dispute, but there would noe
have existed the necessity for positive and I'M
hcsltatlng condemnation of bis position. which
is enforced, not only on his ecclesiastical SUI
pcrors, hut on all who value common honesty.
by his concluding expression, TO wit would
bring about instantly, if | could. such change
Of laws all the world over as would coniiscatc

compensation TO the miscllled owners That

X possible for any Church. and perhaps least
Of all the Church Of Rome, not to sanction, but
to tolerate In the most general way, 50 fragrant
a remuneration OF the simplest law OF right and
wrong, Is indeed by far tho most astonishing
thing In the whole proceedings.
DIR. McGlynns friends cannot but be grieved
by tho proofs he gives Of his determination
to adhere stif1y TO position so clearly unten-
able. lie has unfortunately for himself select
ed ground of quarrel with his supcriors which
T. is impossible for him seriously 10
defend. Had he broken with Rome over some
question really touching the question OF CIVIC
freedom, or involving some attempt ut roman
interference with conscience or secular affairs.
there can be no doubt that he would have
drawn TO his side thousands OF American cit
liens Jealous of their rights and liberties ana
keen to resent the least invasion OF them but
here there is, firstly, matter OF subordlnation
and discipline, and IA to that DIR. McOlynn ID
even on his own showing altogether wrong;
secondly, there is matter OF doctrine, ana on
that point the Doctor has against HIM not only
the authority of the Propaganda and the VAT
can but the consensus Of civilized secular opin-
ion throughout tho world As to his superors,
bo il plainly in cOntumacy az to the doctrine

canon both Of Christian and merely moral econ

how viewed. 1t is dcporabc that so able, so
omiablc, so useful man should have ocen mis-
led In 50 fatal manner. 1t may well Ue oe-
licyed that bis concern for his fcllow7mcn hrst
softened him to he reception OF what seemed
a reform measure. and then blinded him 10 inc
immortality whose acceptance could alone give
a practical aspect to tho doctrine; but how
ever sympathy may attend upon the good priest
and kind counsellor. it must be felt that nc has
brought his own ecclesiastical career to close
and under circumstances which almost preclude
hone Of any compromising opportunity.

TIE WILD INDIAN As 4 MODEL.


DIR. McGlynn would reform things backward.
He wants to turn tho civilized world back to
the barbarism from which it began to emerge
when the present civilization began.
Thus he quotes disputed passages from st.
Basil and st. Ambrose, and interprcts them 10
maintain tho doctrine of communism. Then
he declares, 81 have taught, and / shall con-
tnuc 10 teach, In speeches and writings, as long
as live, that land is rishtfully the property Of
the people in common and that private owner

The German tribes held that notion some

for that two thousand years.
